SH MIKE Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 What does the logo on the Moon Robot from Robot Island represent ? What is the company making it ? " Produced from the original 1950's version " I hope it looks like the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian.. Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Are these exclusive to Robot Island? Perhaps Jay can clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roboto Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The same logo appears on the 8 man robots so it seem there is a new tin company making great looking reproductions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

target Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Jay is the exclusive dealer in the US ! The same company did make the 8 Man Robot . The quality is excellent , and the colors are awesome. I personally ordered a full set . I am sure they will come out with more robots after they are done with this project ! Please go to Jay 's website at www.robotisland.com to order your Robby .

Sparkrobot Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It was right at the end of the toyfair and I was more interested in selling than buying so although I was tempted for a couple of pieces I pulled myself away. I now believe he was a rep of some sort. Whether he was the main man who had requisioned them and was promoting his wares in the in the UK I am not sure but I am convinced he saw me as a potential distributor. Now being part of alphadrome again I wish I had gathered a lot more information. At the next toyfair in March if he is there I will try and find out more about him.

Roboto Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 On 1/3/2017 at 3:18 PM, SH MIKE said: Are the hands and ears going to be made of hard rubber or plastic ? Red Moon Robot Sample. Rare version since it is Production #2 of only 100 pieces produced in Red. The Red version is also already sold out by the production factory. These really turned out beautiful! Robot stands 10" tall just like the original. Walks with turning spindles seen behind his dome, and strong sparkling action seen behind his red translucent mouth piece. Hands and ears are a strong but soft construction so they will last forever compared to the original brittle rubber used on the 1950's version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
